Stable count distributionIn probability theory, the stable count distribution is the conjugate prior of a one-sided stable distribution. This distribution was discovered by Stephen Lihn (Chinese: 藺鴻圖) in his 2017 study of daily distributions of the S&P 500 and the VIX. The stable distribution family is also sometimes referred to as the Lévy alpha-stable distribution, after Paul Lévy, the first mathematician to have studied it. Of the three parameters defining the distribution, the stability parameter is most important.
Campbell's theorem (probability)In probability theory and statistics, Campbell's theorem or the Campbell–Hardy theorem is either a particular equation or set of results relating to the expectation of a function summed over a point process to an integral involving the mean measure of the point process, which allows for the calculation of expected value and variance of the random sum. One version of the theorem, also known as Campbell's formula, entails an integral equation for the aforementioned sum over a general point process, and not necessarily a Poisson point process.
Construction engineeringConstruction engineering, also known as construction operations, is a professional subdiscipline of civil engineering that deals with the designing, planning, construction, and operations management of infrastructure such as roadways, tunnels, bridges, airports, railroads, facilities, buildings, dams, utilities and other projects. Construction engineers learn some of the design aspects similar to civil engineers as well as project management aspects.
Théorème central limitethumb|upright=2|La loi normale, souvent appelée la « courbe en cloche ». Le théorème central limite (aussi appelé théorème limite central, théorème de la limite centrale ou théorème de la limite centrée) établit la convergence en loi de la somme d'une suite de variables aléatoires vers la loi normale. Intuitivement, ce résultat affirme qu'une somme de variables aléatoires indépendantes et identiquement distribuées tend (le plus souvent) vers une variable aléatoire gaussienne.
Fat-tailed distributionA fat-tailed distribution is a probability distribution that exhibits a large skewness or kurtosis, relative to that of either a normal distribution or an exponential distribution. In common usage, the terms fat-tailed and heavy-tailed are sometimes synonymous; fat-tailed is sometimes also defined as a subset of heavy-tailed. Different research communities favor one or the other largely for historical reasons, and may have differences in the precise definition of either.
Processus de WienerEn mathématiques, le processus de Wiener est un processus stochastique à temps continu nommé ainsi en l'honneur de Norbert Wiener. Il permet de modéliser le mouvement brownien. C'est l'un des processus de Lévy les mieux connus. Il est souvent utilisé en mathématique appliquée, en économie et en physique. Le processus de Wiener est défini comme un mouvement brownien standard monodimensionnel, démarrant à l'origine, et à valeurs réelles.
Mouvement brownienvignette|Simulation de mouvement brownien pour cinq particules (jaunes) qui entrent en collision avec un lot de 800 particules. Les cinq chemins bleus représentent leur trajet aléatoire dans le fluide. Le mouvement brownien, ou processus de Wiener, est une description mathématique du mouvement aléatoire d'une « grosse » particule immergée dans un liquide et qui n'est soumise à aucune autre interaction que des chocs avec les « petites » molécules du fluide environnant.
